    Life would be so much easier if you addressed questions with a simple answer.

    oh tru, well i really dont want to go much under $7k, im losing enough on it as it is.
    i would rather hold on to it if i cant get some sort of decent price for it.

    Well with Rego for over 600's having gone up, winter and a recession bikes are only selling with competitive prices.
    Mainly people tell me it's the recession and no ones got that much cash spare and the people who do aren't buying the older bikes especially race type ones.

    I finally went and brought a 1 owner 6000km 2002 640 Supermoto for $5800 with rego and wof and it had a buy now of $7100 and I feel ripped off for letting myself pay more than 5k for it to be honest.

    It's a buyers market make no mistake about it

    Have also heard a number of bike shops have closed the doors with Mt Eden Motorcycles being the most recent.

    Cheers

    I'm in the market and would be totally interested but it is a matter of timing and location (I'm in Auckland). I think it is priced alright but just be prepared to be a little flexible. I know some people would be nervous as it has a racing history.
    What's the service intervals?

    knowing what i know about race bikes and people that race them, i would be more inclined to buy a race bike rather than one that gets ridden to work everyday.

    Service intervals i have been doing are way over the top, oil change after every one or two race weekends, and filters 10hrs.

    biketans got this bike down from auckland for me for $520, im guessing it wouldnt have gone up too much

    am willing to be a little flexible and even help out with transport

    well hayden to be honest , have thought about buying it but bought a plated low hr 450 burg.
    that bike is priced to sell at 6.5 k .
    The parts on the bike is like F$%k slipper clutch and a header pipe , I suggest move Sell the bike in CHCH . take new photos
    at the new pick up point seller's house 4 max photos , dont mention its an ex race bike untill they view her. Whats the barrel like new nickle seal? Dirt rims would help with but thats $$$ , i mean i hang on too dirt rims .

    Fresh Start on the bike.

    dunno, tis nice though. Personally, I get a little iffy whenever I see a vehicle thats had a heap of work done to it. Not because Im worried about quality of workmanship, but because I wonder why its needed the work,, i.e. thrashed, crashed, etc. Maybe Im just a suspicious bastard
